So its officially graduation party season! I wanted to post a little throwback to my graduation party last year! I had my party with a good friend who was heading off to the University of Arizona (which conveniently has the same school colors as Ole Miss). Her family has some property with a big shed so we had the party there. We had cookies and cupcakes decked out with our school logos, our monograms, and some cute chevron and polka dots. We had an ice cream bar where people could choose their ice cream flavor and toppings. We had lemonade and water, in monogramed water bottles, but we ran out of water bottles so if you're planning a grad party don't underestimate how much water you need!
We hung a frame from poles outside to make a Photo Booth and made cute cutouts as props. We had a table set up with jars for each of us where people could write favorite memories with us, or words of wisdom. Aside from our deserts, we had mini versions of our favorite foods for people to snack on {grilled cheese, mac & cheese, and chicken tenders.} Everything was red and blue including our dresses! Funny side note, we ended up wearing the same dress because we both loved it and it matched so perfectly with all of our decorations! Our party was so much fun and we were so happy with how it turned out so I wanted to share it, I hope I could provide some ideas for people planning graduation parties now!

Its hard to believe that almost a year ago I graduated from high school. At the time college seemed scary and far away, and now I'm already done with my first year. Decorated graduation caps are so popular right now, so I wanted to share mine from last year. I ordered a small iron on monogram that matched my school colors from Etsy. I thought about adding a little bit more to it, but I really wanted it to be simple.
My absolute favorite thing I've ever done, was to perform in my high school musicals. Tonight was the opening night for my high school's musical (this year they are doing Mary Poppins) so I thought it was fitting to post a throwback. My senior year our musical was Footloose and I played the lead, Ariel Moore. I devoted the second half of my senior year entirely to musical, and I put everything I had into it. I can never explain the thrill of performing live in front of a sold out audience. Having the lead in the high school musical was a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and it is what I am the most proud of from high school. I made so many friends throughout my time on the MSHS stage and I am so grateful for the memories I made.
